Humanode

Blockchain infrastructure startup operating from Tbilisi since 2020, building a crypto-biometric network where one human equals one node. Humanode uses Proof-of-Uniqueness and Proof-of-Existence protocols based on biometric face scanning to establish Sybil resistance without revealing identity. The network is built on Polkadot infrastructure and in 2024 recorded a Nakamoto Coefficient of 236 — the highest decentralisation score ever measured for a blockchain. The project has raised approximately $23 million.
